Parking Grosses $430,000 Per Chargers Game

The City of San Diego yesterday (April 7) put out a request for proposal for companies to bid on parking services for Qualcomm Stadium. According to the request for proposal, the gross revenue from Qualcomm parking last year was $5,393,006. The Chargers accounted for most of that. They had ten events, averaging $430,000 per event. San Diego State had 6 events averaging $40,617. The Poinsettia Bowl brought in $92,303, and the Holiday Bowl $117,800. Super Cross (one event) brought in $126,530 and the Monster Truck Show (one event) brought in $164,932. Thanks to Matt Potter for sending this along.

Well, have you noticed that Donald Trump is tied for second in one poll for Republican candidate for president? San Diego's deferred maintenance is $600 million but the establishment wants to subsidize the Chargers, at bare minimum, to the tune of $600 million? Palin may challenge Trump for president? Best, Don Bauder

What little, and by little I mean miniscule, credibility that Trump might have ever had went out the window the very moment he made the galacticly stupid move of bringing up President Obama's birth certificate again. the ONLY reason Trump is opening his yap again is for the free publicity
